Windows 7: Crash at Windows Logon screen or when Outlook is first openened

Crashes or BSOD occur not long after boot. If the system is up and running for a while there are no problems - it's always in the early stages after boot that I experience problems.

Windows 7 Logon Screen/XP Pro?Prior to purchasing a new notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium x64, I used a notebook with Windows XP Professional. I really liked the Windows XP Pro logon box (see attached image).
